😢 Rep. #GerryConnolly, the top #Democrat on the #House #Oversight & Government Reform Committee, will step down from his leadership post on the panel & will not run for reelection.

The #Virginia Democrat, whose constituency includes many #FederalWorkers, cited the return of his esophageal #cancer — first diagnosed in late 2024 — as the reason for his planned departure.

“We’ve got a real issue here with, really, this emerging American #oligarch who has…no standing: The American people didn’t pick him. He didn’t run for office. Nor has he been nominated. I think that’s a huge stumbling block from the very beginning that could taint the entire process if the #Republicans aren’t careful,” Rep #GerryConnolly added.

#ElonMusk has been discussed as potentially becoming a “special government employee” within the #WhiteHouse — a position that would exempt him from certain reporting & disclosure requirements of other senior ofcls.

“He starts w/enormous #ConflictsOfInterest, & they need to be absolutely addressed in terms of #transparency & #accountability,” said Rep #GerryConnolly (VA), the top #Democrat on the powerful #House #Oversight Cmte.

Several of VA's #House #Democrats slammed #Republicans' efforts.

#GerryConnolly said on X that "Donald Trump is facing 91 #felony charges. If Republicans want to name something after him, I'd suggest they find a #FederalPrison."

"Congress must act on pressing issues like reauthorizing the #FAA & passing the #NationalSecurity supplemental. Yet this is what… #HouseRepublicans leadership focuses on -- renaming #Virginia's #Dulles airport after #Trump," Abigail Spanberger wrote on X.
